    EverBlocks Let You Build Modular Furniture

    We’d love to hear what you think of the Internet’s strangest and geekiest moments in
    this week’s “Geek Bits.”

    By The Way

    Well, it’s finally happened! We teased about it,
    hinted about it and then revealed the big news: The Geek Twins are now
    on About.com. If you love Superman I hope you love my new site all
    about the caped wonder. Here are some of the articles that I hope you
    visit and like.

    • 20 Things You Didn’t Know About Kryptonite
    • Which is the worst Superman movie of all-time?
    • Here are the best Superman comics coming in August 2015
    • Henry Cavill was once called “Fatty”

    It’s kind of weird writing without a comment section, so feel free to
    share your thoughts on the articles here if you’d like. I’d love to
    hear what you think and what you’d like to see.

    Movies

    The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) – Recommended

    Official Synopsis: “In the early
    1960s, CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB operative Illya Kuryakin
    participate in a joint mission against a mysterious criminal
    organization, which is working to proliferate nuclear weapons.”

    This taut fun thriller is supposed to be a throwback to classic James
    Bond and it works. The reason it works is the same reason it bombed:
    director Guy Ritchie gives it the slow pace of 60s movies and it’s a
    wonderful contrast to the quick cuts and frenetic pace of modern films.
    The action is phenomenal, the intricate plot is well written and Henry
    Cavill makes a wonderful leading man.

    Here are some more reviews from the coolest blogs

    • Family Movie Night: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (via Armchair Squid) Recommended
    • Filed Under M (via A**holes Watching Movies) Not Recommended
    • The Man from U.N.C.L.E Review (via The Black Geeks) Recommended

    Chronicle (2012) – Recommended

    Official Synopsis: “Seen through the
    lens of a troubled teen’s video camera, yet filled with eye-popping
    action and jaw-dropping special effects, Chronicle is as real as it
    gets. When three ordinary high school friends make an extraordinary
    discovery, they acquire amazing abilities beyond their understanding.
    But as their powers develop, so do their darker sides. Fun, harmless
    pranks soon lead to much riskier activities as the boys’ “gifts” – and
    their lives – spin dangerously out of control!”

    Josh Trank creates an incredible low budget movie but it’s not about
    superheroes. This movie is about people and as the movie spends more
    time on the characters they use their powers to explore their ambitions
    on things like pranks, travel and revenge. It’s a thoughtful and
    powerful film and shares many themes of Fantastic Four with teenagers
    getting powers and one turning evil. But if this is what Trank was
    trying to make I can see why the studio balked. It’s way too slow paced
    for a summer blockbuster.

    Fantastic Four (2014) – Not Recommended

    Official Synopsis: “The FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.”

    In case you couldn’t tell from my rant about the movie’s poorcharacterization this movie is a waste of time in every way. The acting
    and special effects are too good to enjoy it as a bad movie, but the
    plot and characters are too ill-defined to enjoy as a good movie. Some
    say the movie would have been better if the studio hadn’t interfered,
    but from everything we’ve heard about Trank – from his trashing his
    rental house, telling the actors not to breathe, locking himself in a
    big tent and tweeting an attack on the movie before it opened – he’s
    just not professional enough to handle a Hollywood film. He’ll go back
    to independent film and the studio will try to save what’s left of the
    franchise. Don’t waste money in the theater and only rent it if you get
    a free rental from Red Box or On Demand.

      Hey, thanks for the link! I'm glad you liked the movie, too.

      I'll admit upfront that Superman isn't really my area but your new venture has me curious.

      Hi there my human Geek Twins friends,

      Your links are pawesome and I always like your synopsis. My human was telling me about some place called "Pacific Rim." Evidently, it's an apartment block in Vancouver, Canada where he claims to have known this really cute lady…

      Have a nice weekend.

      Pawsitive wishes,

      Penny 🙂

      Earn To Die 2012
      From the not Doppler studios, our personal favorite game on this list is Earn To Die 2012.
      The setting is a zombie apocalypse in the year 2012. Kill mobs of zombies to earn cash, or perish among the living dead.

      Barbie of Swan Lake
      Similar to Charming Bride, Barbie of Swan Lake is a dress up game.
      The name says it all: you are a barbie of a girl on a lakeside, and you are tasked with getting dolled up before you meet your prince.

      Charming Bride
      From the didiGames studios,
      Charming Bride is quite the opposite of the number 1 slot.
      There is no fighting, or eating; this one is all about make-believe and dress up.
      You are given a female character to dress up for the day she has been planning since she was a little girl: her wedding day.
